Telegram is ending the year by giving its users yet another update. Version 4.7 for Android brings support for multiple accounts using different phone numbers and a quick-reply action within chats. This is the second Telegram update this month.

Here’s the changelog:

WHAT’S NEW
Multiple accounts and ‘Swipe to reply’ added in version 4.7:
- Quickly switch between different Telegram accounts if you use multiple phone numbers.
- Swipe left on any message to reply to it.

Viber is still playing catch-up with more popular messaging apps and every couple of weeks it adds several features that have been available on other messengers for a while. That’s still a good thing though, in my opinion, since users who prefer Viber have the same handy and interesting options than those who are on Telegram or WhatsApp.

In the latest update to Viber 7.7.0, the app added a couple of useful new options for groups.

I’ve come to expect great things from every new Telegram update. Each one seems to enhance the quality-of-life for the users, and the latest brings some of those. Version 4.3 adds a much better group mentions and reply system, an overhauled UI for inviting contacts to join Telegram, and other minor improvements.

Here’s the changelog:

Groups with unread mentions and replies are now marked with an ‘@’ badge in the chats list.

The Pebble continues to chug along even with Android Wear garnering most of the limelight among the Android faithful. Today’s Pebble update adds a few new features, some borrowed from Wear, and some that improve on it. You’ll need the recently released v2.9 firmware and the just released app (v2.3), but it’s quick to update.
